“It was an interesting meet. The teams were split into relay pairs and then the placings of the top 3 pairs for each team were added for the team scoring. Each runner ran two 1.08 mile loops. I was pleased with our performances, especially when it was the first time for us on this course. Although Ruby and Payton looked especially strong for the girls as did Augustus and Brady for the boys, I thought that everyone’s effort was exceptional for a season opener.” Pat Hodge-Princeton Coach. Their next meet is on September 7, 2024, against Oregon, Illinois.
